When the Thor-like hero of Svend shows up to escort Cille to the Normans, her younger sister Aediva pretends to be her sister to protect Cille. However, as Aediva learns more about Svend's errand, she realizes how out of control her lie has become, and she struggles to do what is right and to protects those she loves.
Personally, I really liked Aediva. She's a bit TSTL, especially in the final scene, where she literally goes against Svend's wishes and almost gets several people killed. Honestly, it's surprising no one dies, at all, in this book, but I digress. Aediva's impulsiveness is due to her having to make decisions on the fly in a time of great unrest (the Normans have just conquered England), and the people she normally relies on are dead/incapacitated. It's believable, and I found her behavior consistent throughout the story. In addition, I didn't find it unbearable because she does learn to be honest with Svend at the end of the novel... even if she does what she wants anyway. She was refreshing.
For his part, Svend is a gentleman ahead of his times. He's not only chivalrous but pretty feminist, to the point where he not only questions but argues that women shouldn't just be given in arranged marriages-they should have a choice. I'm sure some medieval knight thought this way, but it was a different perspective than most grooms in arranged marriages have, especially when said groom is about to get a castle and a lot of land out of the deal. His growth is also believable, especially because he really does learn to trust Aediva and think things through instead of just jumping back to his old ideas. Who doesn't like a romance hero like that?
If you like romance novels with misunderstandings, slow-burners, as well as good action scenes, then this is the romance for you!… (lisätietoja)
